Enjoying my time as a PhD student in the field of thermoplastic composites. I am involved in the research project PERFECT - press forming without defects. Our project aims to improve the predictive quality of hot press forming simulations. In turn, improved forming predictions allow first-time-right defect-free manufacturing through virtual design iterations and, with that, will further broaden the use of lightweight TPC parts.
